Andy, thanks for your information.  Yes, here in Australia the toilets flush
the opposite way to the northern hemisphere and our light switches go down for
on and up for off.
 
Anyway, back to the subject.  We had Cyprian bees imported into Australia in
the early 1950's and these were aggressive compared to the bees in Australia
at that time, so they were not proceeded with.
 
With all those imports in the early days, I wonder what happened to all those
bees.
 
Yes, Frank Benton was the man of the mailing cage fame.
 
Not a bad winter's day here today.  At home, a minimum of 3 degrees centigrade
and a maximum of 25 degrees centigrade.
